Jenna Bush says “Sure” to Ellen having wedding at ranch…

Well, at least there’s one semi-cool member of the Bush family. First Daughter Jenna Bush, who got married at the family’s Texas ranch a few weeks back, appears on Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show today and had a fun exchange with her lesbian host who recentlt announced that she plans to marry Portia de Rossi.

Ellen: “So, the ranch was a great place to get married. It looked like nobody could fly over and get pictures or bother you, really.”Jenna: Yeah. That was really nice.”Ellen: So, can we borrow it for our wedding. Can we get the ranch?”Jenna: Sure.

Meanwhile, the Sacramento Bee published this story today: Signaling a generational shift in attitudes, a new Field Poll on Tuesday said California voters now support legal marriage between same-sex couples and oppose a state constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage.

By 51 to 42 percent, state voters believe gay couples have the right to marry, according to a May 17-26 poll of 1,052 registered voters.

However, the same poll revealed a California electorate that remains sharply divided over gay marriage – split by age, political affiliation, religion and the regions where they live. The poll was taken after the May 15 California Supreme Court decision overturning a state ban on same-sex marriages. The results marked the first time in more than 30 years of state polling that a majority of Field Poll respondents favored making gay marriage legal.

In 2000, more than 61 percent of voters approved Proposition 22, a statute declaring that only marriage between a man and a woman is valid in California.
